Cònero

Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities

Recognised as a DOCG in 2006 within the Marche region, Cònero stands out among neighboring appellations for its singular focus. Unlike nearby denominations that split into complex subzones or riserva tiers, Cònero permits only a single tipologia. Cultivated across seven municipalities including Ancona, its dominant Montepulciano grape demands a mandatory 24-month aging period, yet the official rules uniquely leave the specific wood or bottle split unspecified. With yields restricted to 9.0 tons per hectare, this ruby red wine delivers a dry, rich-bodied, and harmonious profile with a minimum alcohol content of 12.5% vol and a pleasing, vinous aroma.
